Technology Blog Master Class

Email This Entry

Posted by Stowe Boyd

Applications are now being accepted for my first Master Class on Technology Blog Writing. I am hoping to get 8-12 folks who have these characteristics for participate in the program:

  1. Have been writing on technology for a year or more
  2. Have been blogging for a year or more
  3. Are dedicated to blogging -- post frequently, read a lot of bloggers, etc.
  4. Have the time to spend on the Master Class: 1.5 hours class time each session, 2-3 hours of work time each session, every other week for a twelve week period.

I will be leading the class, and working with the participants in group and individually. I am applying the two decades of writing I have been involved in, and specifically what I have learned blogging about technology since 1999.

The course will dig into topics such as these:

  1. What's Your Beat? Developing a focus area.
  2. Who's Who? Who are the importante voices and players in your area, and getting involved with them.
  3. What's Hot? What are the themes and memes bubbling in your space, and how to approach.
  4. What's Your Story? Making your personal story unversal: are you a guru, everyman/woman, or champion?
  5. Come Again? Engaging in conversation.
  6. Voice, Lines, Purpose: write it like you mean it.
  7. Tech for Technology Blogs: nuts and bolts below the hood.

The classes will be 1.5hrs long, schedule is (in principle, every Tue at 4pm ET), starting 22 November, running for twelve weeks. Fee is $500.

Please contact me via stowe -at- corante.com. I already have one applicant, so hurry.
